I used to live in OR, where I could go to the course over the winter. Now I'm in Wisconsin, I have a 10' Wellputt that I'll be using in the concrete basement.

I used the Wellputt this last Spring, it's not ideal but its good to work on speed

I'd want to test the fast mat, hopefully the 1 x 2 directional hole setup

Leon, Sweet Home, Oregon 

I use a cheap knockoff putting mat from Amazon that I use on hardwood floors throughout the winter. I try and putt 3 to 5 days a week inside throughout the whole year. 

I would like to test either a medium or a fast green cause that would be closest to what I play on my local course.

3. fine. Turf mats have inconsistent roll and you have to adjust to the surface rather than the form & read

4. 1x10’ model

2. How do you keep your putting sharp through the winter? Right now I don't because I have no way to do so. 
3. Current/Past Experience with putting mats I have used a narrow mat with an auto return. It usually had wrinkles from being in a box and was not very useful. 
4. Go to www.birdieball.com and tell us which speed green you'd want to test. I would like to test the medium speed. I typically play municipal and public courses and I think that speed would be the best match.

2.  PuttOUT Pro Putting Matt with a PuttOUT Pressure Putt Trainer or trip to the practice putting green 

3.   The PuttOUT putting matt is the only matt designed for putting that I've used (my carpet doesn't count).  With nothing to compare it to, it has been a fine tool to use.  Easy to set up, travel with and retains it's shape.  

4.  Medium

 

Thanks for your consideration!

Hey guys,

I'm Karl Theobald from San Francisco, CA

I mostly practice putting at golf courses or practice facilities in the Bay Area. On real grass

I've never owned an at-home putting practice mat of any kind but I'd love to have the ability to practice at home

I'd prefer the medium speed mat. 3-5 cups.

[larry young 0]

Primarily practice in my office on carpet.

I am a retired Golf Coach, Club builder and Ambassador Captain at Waterview GC

I will test any junk you want me to test.

Practice makes Permanent....

This green would be great to use with my young daughters who love putting with me on the carpet 3-4 time a week at home or whenever I get a chance to take them to the course’s practice green.

ive heard great things about these green and would love to be a very honest and critical tester for this product! Hopefully, it will help lower my scores and build my confidence on the greens!

1. Jeff from Louisville, KY

2. During the winter I really don't practice putting. If it warms up enough I'll go to the green at a local course but I don't have any carpet in my house and don't have any training/practice mats.

3. When I was a kid I used to spend hours putting on my dad's old (1990s) putting mat with the faux green grass and plastic ramp. Other than that, I've got none.

4. I would like the medium speed, if selected.

 

I'd love to be selected for this one - I have been perusing the birdieball site for months now and am intrigued by their proprietary surface. Thanks for the consideration!

1. Max, Los Angeles
2. I try to play once a week at a city course
3. I had one that was ok, but it rolled really fast and was so thin it picked up all the bumps/slopes in the hardwood floor, so it was a bit like mini-golf putting.
4. Slow - Muni course speed

Micheal - San Ramon Ca.

The weather is good to be able to practice at the course but we also practice in the garage on a putt out mat

We practice on a putt out mat as well as carpet

We would like to test out the fast speed . I think it would be a great benefit to help with speed control as it is easier to transition to slower speeds

1. Oliver - Boise, Idaho
2. I have a very basic roll out mat that I use a few times a week in the winter. I also bring it to my office and putt on my breaks. 
3. I have only owned one mat, and I still use it. Every time that I roll it up, it wrinkles up and I have to work on it, in order to flatten it. It does the job, but I have been looking at purchasing a new one. 
4. Fast

2. How do you keep your putting sharp through the winter?
   Luckily, I live in CA where conditions are not too shabby during winter so only thing that will stop me is rain ect.. But I practice and adapt to local courses testing green speeds. I also putt at home and in office using a variety of retail putting mats. Also really like utilizing my 24/8 “mamba” putting drill in which I’ll evenly space 8 balls around the hole starting 3 feet back and extending in increments as a sink easy putts building an organic rhythm along with much needed confidence into my putting stroke and a solid routine is developed as I setup making 24 in a row 2 times before moving to chipping drills. Takes a few tries to execute but once you see yourself overcome it’s very easy drill that requires little effort but much discipline. 
3. Current/Past Experience with putting mats: 
   I’ve tried a variety of putting mats along with Golf Training products that offer the similar concepts. Currently, my favorite is the SKILLZ vari-break 7ft putting mat which allows me to keep my touch on par without the weather or any other conditions affecting me. When practicing I move the locations of these mats (ie to On top of carpet, adding thicker surfaces to slow roll, and also on top of concrete so that I can focus on my tempo without losing control of putts) so that I will understand all speeds and roll when it comes to competing in a round. 
4. Go to www.birdieball.com and tell us which speed green you'd want to test: I’d prefer testing the Medium speed or even fast mat of available; I want a realistic mat that will allow me to get a close to the game as possible without actually being at the course building that confidence to execute my short game (80 yards in). *248 perfect putts a day keeps them bogies Away!!!

i practice my putting on a 7 foot putting mat. It’s a solid putting mat but not as pure at the BirdieBall mat. I’ve used a friends BirdieBall mat a few times and it’s amazing. 
 

I’d like to try the medium speed mat as I think that most similar to the courses I play. 

[blackngold_blood 4,033]

I will throw my name in but have no real reservations about being picked since my season is coming to an end shortly in Iowa. Good luck everyone!



•Mark Iowa

I putt on the carpet down my hallway lol

If the sold at Walmart with the hole on top of a slope counts, then that is my last experience.

•Without a doubt the medium speed since my greens vary so drastically from course to course in my area.
